We live in a world where people love to advertise their favorite companies. The great thing about many of college students' favorite companies is that they don't just offer products, they also give back. If you love giving back, here are some companies you need to check out:
1. TOMS
This one is pretty obvious. The famous shoe company has expanded, and now sells jewelry, sunglasses, clothing, and even coffee. A target in-store collection even featured dinnerware. If you haven't checked out the TOMS website lately, you definitely should!
2. The Elephant Pants
The Elephant Pants are advertised as being the comfiest pants you'll ever own. Available in countless colors and patterns, these elephant pants are a favorite of yoga enthusiasts and elephant "phans" alike. They also sell jewelry, water bottles, rompers, handbags, and tapestries. When you purchase these pants, a portion of the proceeds go to the Save the Elephants Foundation, which hopes to put an end to poaching.
3. Headbands of Hope
Headbands of Hope is a company that boasts countless styles of headbands along with jewelry and other products. Whether you like jeweled headbands, flower crowns, turbans, or buffs, Headbands of Hope has a headband for you! They even have an impressive selection of wedding headbands. When you purchase from them, they donate a headband to a child with cancer. Their Instagram feed is even full of adorable pictures from girls who have received one of their headbands.
4. The Ivory Ella
The Ivory Ella brings together the best of animal love and t-shirts. This best-of-both-worlds company sells shirts that bear the image of their precious elephant mascot and look like the epitome of comfortable. Like The Elephant Pants, The Ivory Ella donates a portion of their proceeds to Save the Elephants.
5. Pura Vida Bracelets
These bracelets are the cutest things to wear on your wrists. The countless regular collection bracelets are adorable, come in a variety of styles, and help support the people in Costa Rica who make them. They also have charity bracelets that help raise funds for a variety of causes. Whether you have a heart for cancer related research and organizations or you are all about saving the orcas, there is a bracelet for you. With very low prices, these bracelets are worth checking out.
6. Rahab's Rope
Those adorable leather and pearl bracelets and necklaces that you've inevitably seen on campus are just a few of the products that this company has to offer. Rahab's Rope is all about empowering women and girls, giving them hope, and putting an end to human trafficking.
With all of these wonderful options to choose from, there is only one question left to ask: who will your next purchase help?
